FUNNY NEWS: OBY EZEKWESILI Denies Having Sexual Relationship With Former PRESIDENT OBASANJO

A former Vice-President of the World Bank, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, on
Wednesday denied having any amorous relationship with former President
Olusegun Obasanjo. Ezekwesili’s denial followed the widespread circulation of a photograph showing her in a very warm embrace with Obasanjo. In the trending photo, the former President is seen holding Ezekwesili from behind and giving her a peck on the cheek.

The controversial picture was taken on Tuesday during the public
presentation of Obasanjo’s three-part autobiography entitled, ‘My
Watch’.

Many online commentators expressed displeasure with Ezekwesili and Obasanjo for behaving in such a manner in public.

They accused the former minister of education, who once served in
Obasanjo’s cabinet, of being indecorous as a married woman and passing a
wrong message to young girls who look up to her as a role model.

A group known as ‘Hope for Nigeria’ stated that it was taken aback by
the decision of the two public figures to behave themselves that way in
public.

“This is Dr. Oby Ezekwesili the ‪#‎BringBackOurGirls‬ crusader with former President Obasanjo at his book launch.

“Was it that Ezekwesili forgot that she was in a public place and a
married woman? She threw caution to the wind. Anyway, we saw her
sticking out her finger in excitement, while the ‘Chemistry’ lasted.

“What manner of role model will this woman be to young Nigerian girls
who look up to her?” the group wrote, after posting the controversial
photograph on its Facebook page.

But Ezekwesili has fired back
at her accusers, describing those who have reacted to the photo by
calling her unprintable names as “gutter minds.”

The former
minister stated that Obasanjo merely gave her a “boisterous greeting”,
adding that only “impure hearts” would be suspicious of the motive
behind his expression of goodwill.

She blamed declining “family
values” for her critics’ line of thought, noting that those “purveyors
of the filthy conversation” were merely “living for the gutter.”

“My former boss – President Obasanjo – gave me a boisterous greeting at
his event yesterday (Tuesday) and the impure in heart now turn it to
lurid tales.

“Restoring family values will also help take us
back to a descent society. It is clear that many among us have lost our
pure hearts.

“Let us leave them to their lowliness. It is out
of the abundance of the filthiness or purity of heart that the mouth
speaks,” Ezekwesili tweeted.
